As the latest winter storm blasts the East Coast of the U.S., millions of people are facing another day of freezing conditions that have triggered school and government office closures and thousands of cancelled flights. Seen here, the U.S. aircraft carrier Intrepid is surrounded by floating ice on the Hudson River in New York.

Big, dirty piles of snow and ice, have collected throughout numerous snow storms this season, on the street in the Chelsea neighborhood of New York. Because of the cold weather the ice and snow has not melted and the city has left these deposits.
